The Knicks were scheduled to work out Duke forward Justise Winslow yesterday and will take a look at point guard Emmanuel Mudiay today, according to a league source. The Knicks own the No. 4 pick in the June 25 draft and are considering all options, including trading down. Mudiay and Winslow are players considered to be in the range where the Knicks are selecting. Winslow is a versatile swingman who helped the Blue Devils win the national title as a freshman.
